Completed Let's Larp the Court of King Vale clumsily preparing a royal summit in Fit To Be A King

[V_K]

Cat!!!
Knight it! No, marry it! No, knight AND marry it!
Sukhavati won't mind, she's been raised in a culture that practices polygamy anyway.

 

[Helly]

Bossman, are you REALLY thinking about marrying that danger hair *foreigner* ?
As far as I'm concerned, this is a great idea - get rid of your wife, then marry the princess and finally execute her under some kind of pretext - that way we can invade their kingdom and take their oil gold! It's the best of both worlds!

 

[V_K]

that way we can invade their kingdom and take their oil gold cats!

Get your priorities straight.

 

[V_K]

Psst, Darth Roxor, I got something for you:

Will surely be a huge hit at the summit dinner.

 

[Andnjord]

Surely, if the Royal wife is barren, and the Pope won't consider according your Majesty a divorce, then there is no other solution, however distasteful it may be, than to e(X)ecute our Pretty Princess. ROOOFLES!

 

[ValeVelKal]

Part VI Might & Magic

Technically not a divorce

We start the day, with a difficult, but necessary decision

Hello dear ! Best wishes for your summit !

<Execute>

I then go to the execution spot :

Bossman, I am waiting for your go !

As she did not transit through the Jail, I will let my Council . If it does not change its decision by next turn, you will do your grim work.

Dream explorer

This done, I decided to explore the subterranean area, which meant going to the Church...

Remember ! If you knighted me I could maybe accept a Reformation...

.... in front of the Ghost in the Crypt

BEWARE OF THE GUARD CAPTAIN ! BEWARE OF THE DOG ! BEWARE OF THE CHAMB...

Finally, silence !

Taking the boat, the "river" turned out to be a lake. In the South-East, a small enclosed area led to a ladder up ...

Which led to more ladders up, until I reached a secret area next to a part of the Castle I haven't explored yet. With birds. :

North of the Lake, the enclosed area brought me to a dense ... forest ? where more chests were hiding.

And finally, South-West of the Lake, there was another ladder DOWN this time :

... which led to another small cave, with not much water but treasures, and ... Yet Another Ladder :

... which led to ... an house ?

An old man says: Greeting, King Vale

<name> Let us invoke good old SumDrunkGuy

But you are a gal !

Only because I just changed my avatar.

<job> I drink my drink!

<drink> A very special brew! Want some (Y/N):

<Yes> Bottoms up!

Then the weirdest thing happened as I became tiny !!!

I could go through a tiny hole in the wall which brought me, logically, in SPACE !

Passing through the second wall, I was restored back to my normal side, and found myself in another of those deep earth forest :

Well, to be honest at this point I could be anywhere.

I reached a river, or maybe a sea, which had, logically, a Pirate Ship at dock :

I beelined to the Captain :

Arrr, we're looking for recruits.

<name> Captain Latro's my name

<job> The most feared pirate in the seas, be I.

<summit> Tain't no need to worry about such things on the open seas

<pirate> We plunger gold and fight the Bloodsails

<plunder> Aye, there be plenty of plunder for our recruits.

<recruit> If you want to join I can give you a sword !

<sword> Here's your cutlass. Now cross the gangplank and fight some Bloodsails!

And just like that, I had a sword. It is better if I showed you what happened next in a .GIF :

My Jester will be happy, I think I did what he calls "pxed" !

After those exploits, I went back to the Captain Latro:

Thank ye for the help. Now I'll tell ye where the treasure be buried. Behind the sailor's house is a blue flower. Dig five paces south of it. And now we set sail for the high seas ! We have many days of traveil ahead, you should go below decks and rest up.

He moved aside, allowing me to reach the hold :

And reaching the bed ...

Dreaming again, Your Majesty! I'm glad you're awake.

<dream> In your sleep you said : "Behind the sailor's house, five paces south of the flower."

After the dream

Was it a dream, or reality ?

To be sure, I went back to where I had met SamDrunkGuy...

... which met going in front of the ghost again

BEWARE OF THE PRIEST

Silence ! Are you responsible for that Dream Machine shit ? I told you I really did not like Chapter 4

.... I have no idea what you are telling me about. But you should get rid of the dog. It is Satan in disguise. Like all dogs. Unlike cats.

Anyway, I went back to the place, and...

...It was empty. Not a soul !

I went back up and went to check behind the sailor house...

.... which meant passing in front of the execution square.

Hello, love !

And indeed, there was a blue flower ... but no shovel yet !

And we stop for now. Next turn, I WILL explore the castle more to unlock the remaining players. As for the politics, well, you decide.

[Helly]

*Hears nonstop barking*
How tiring. No longer do I find this constant yapping amusing...
This foul creature must be stopped before it fills our lord's ears with lies! Execute the dog.

 

[vazha]

What madness is this? Hands off Sir Doggo, or I shall piss into each and every barrel, cascet and bottle, so help me god!

Also remember I counceled thee to jail the whelp Horvatii, O Exalted One? The chronicler must have missed that for its not on dasheboarde yon there...

 

[Darth Roxor]

If we're gonna e[X]ecute Volly anyway, I withdraw my vote about reforming the religion.

 

[Azira]

Those of you who wish to reform should also vote for me being knighted. That would close the vote for a yes.

 

[V_K]

Knight it! No, marry it! No, knight AND marry it!

I wasn't joking btw.
Also, execute vazha, he's in cahoots with the dog.
Azira, I'll support knighting you if you support my holy crusade.

 

[Dayyālu]

*strolls around the execution spot*

Uh, it appears that despite the vote the King has some moral qualms about the execution and the Queen despairs. My excellent rulers, you should not fear this execution! Why it may appear as a brutal and wanton act to substitute the Queen with some young dark-skinned jailbai.... where was I? Ah right, it's anything but!

Spoiler

Queen, you should realize that your death is a triumph! Imagine if the King divorced you, like a latter day Nero throwing you away like an Octavia! the indignity of a divorce and exile! The ultimate indignity of a [R]eform done just to satisfy carnal desires and the search of wealth!

JUST IMAGINE, MY QUEEN! An entire country submitted to a laughingstock of a Reformation, centuries of damnation for the common folk before the atrocious mistake can be corrected! But the King, in his infinite wisdom, is blessing you with a martyr's crown and saving the soul of his own people and all their descendants with such a simple act!

You don't die as a simple woman, but as a VESSEL of SALVATION (and Loyalty to Rome!). Rejoice, my Queen! Furthermore, I guarantee that in a few centuries' time rivers of academic ink will flow to honour you, and maybe some insane madman will even paint you as a Feminist icon! Eternal in memory even!

So, Queen, your execution is NOT a tragedy. It's a moral imperative for the good of King, Country, Faith and I dare to say History itself!

Mhh, furthermore, the good Azira should not be knighted if he entertains dangerous thoughts of reformation. Knight the Cat, faithful feline companion, instead.

 

[V_K]

6 : Knight Azira : Azira (3), V_K(3) Rejected

Hey, my support was conditional, he has to agree to the terms and conditions first.

 

[Strange Fellow]

Knight sir Azira, pls. No one touches sir doggo. More instructions to follow.

 

[V_K]

ValeVelKal, so what happens with a councillor's votes once he gets executed? They get removed from the tally, right? It would be unwise to listen to traitors after all.

 

[Strange Fellow]

Hold on, there's a cat? Knight the cat.

 

[Darth Roxor]

This knight is one strange fellow. Keeps asking me for free stuff for the cat and dog. Is he some kind of furry? Probably. I wish the king e[X]ecuted him for his secret transgressions.

There's no such thing as a meal that's for free. And if there's one lesson that young ought to learn, it's "pay no deposit and get no return."

 

[Strange Fellow]

Can't even be an animal lover any more without being suspected of all sorts of degeneracy. Verily, a Reform is essential if we are to prevent the rot of this Godless culture from damning us all.

By the way, I've always wanted to see Maxie executed. Let's do that as well. Also, I've previously voted to Jail the ghost, and you may also Jail Horvatii.

Edit: It seems the ghost is correct, and that it can be neither jailed nor killed. What a nuisance. This only makes it more imperative that the church be Reformed, so that my liege can personally command the ghost to Fucketh Off in the name of higher powers.

I would also like to vote on the matter of my own execution. I vote no.

 

[V_K]

Also, I've previously voted to Jail the ghost

You've missed the heathens' pathetic attempt to get rid of me two pages ago. You're powerless in the face of a cosmic, um, power.

Hold on, there's a cat? Knight the cat.

Oh, but maybe not all is lost for your soul then. Just repent in your dog-loving ways and all will be forgiven!

 

[ValeVelKal]

ValeVelKal, so what happens with a councillor's votes once he gets executed? They get removed from the tally, right? It would be unwise to listen to traitors after all.

Anyone in jail, in the death row or dead gets its votes wiped. People can't vote against their own death/jail. Dead men don't talk. Except ghosts, I guess.

I am pondering whether I should allow voting for oneself being knighted.

Note that I consider that Helly wants *anyone* to be executed, once done his bloodlust will be removed and his "vote" to kill anyone will be removed

 

[Helly]

Good enough! For now...

 

[ValeVelKal]

I would also like to vote on the matter of my own execution. I vote no.

I am afraid you can't. You will have to gather some more support in your defense.

 

[ValeVelKal]

Post of the thread ! I will multiply your vote to execute Volourn by 2 as Volourn herself also agrees ! !

 

[V_K]

I would also like to vote on the matter of my own execution. I vote no.

I am afraid you can't. You will have to gather some more support in your defense.

I'll rescind my vote if he repents. Whom will it be, Strange Fellow - you or the dog?

*Limited time offer. Terms and conditions apply.

Note that I consider that Helly wants *anyone* to be executed, once done his bloodlust will be removed and his "vote" to kill anyone will be removed

He voted for the dog specifically in a separate post, so it shouldn't be counted as part of "anyone" tally.
